In partnership with Sparrow, Dwellness will be offering Grief Walks to individuals, families or couples, throughout the arboretum of Green-wood cemetery, Riverside Park, or Trinity Cemetery and Mausoleum. Grief walks will offer the opportunity to engage in several healing factors:
The ability to share your grief without fear of burdening others, thereby reducing loneliness and withdrawal
The grounding and healing impact of connecting with and witnessing nature.
The psychological benefits of physical activity, during a time when it can be very hard to move
The exposure to death as a part of life, through walking amongst those who have passed
FEE: $40-90 per 45 minute walk (based on financial need). These Grief Walks will be facilitated by Dwellness’ Advanced Clinical Trainees.
